The cabin is compact but well maintained and supplied. We didn’t use the hot tub but it was sparkling clean. Very nice walk-in shower. The location is very remote but plenty of other cabins around so it’s not like you’re in the middle of nowhere. We enjoyed a nice quiet stay.
This cabin was perfect. Close to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg yet felt secluded. It was the perfect size for the two of us and was very comfortable. I would high recommend.
I loved the loft layout of the cabin. The roads are paved all the way to the cabin for easy to access and the check in process was just as easy to get in.
Cabin was very clean, had supplies you needed. Hot tub was wonderful. Shower was amazing! Felt like a car wash. Bed was comfy. Check in was a breeze. Owners stayed in communication. We used the free ticket to see a show. Nice bonus. We loved our stay and cant wait to come back. Far enough away from the city but close enough to get to the attractions.
